A 10 Minute Drawing

Head drawing takes time.   The model’s name is Karina. She was great.  This life drawing was done at a crowded Tuesday Night Sketch Event at Society of Illustrators. I sat in the second row, where I could balance my 18×24 inch drawing pad. If the pose is a standing pose, most often, I wouldn’t be able to draw the feet as they would be blocked by artists sitting in the first row. If the model is in a seated pose, as in this drawing, both the hands and feet are blocked.  I focused on the head and added a few details of the gesture. I should have taken this picture with better lighting.
